Ahmed: An immigration plan before an investment

Fictional illustrative scenario. Results and immigration outcomes depend on individual circumstances.

Ahmed
I'm Ahmed. I've spent years building a successful business, and I'm considering expanding into Canada. But before investing a significant amount of money, I have some important questions. Would I qualify for a work permit? Could my family accompany me? And would operating a Canadian business eventually help me qualify for permanent residence? I don't want to discover the immigration obstacles after I've made the investment.
